Advising/Registration

How do I find an advisee’s alternate pin?

Go into your Advisee Listing and find the advisee desired. There is a column titled “Alternate Pin” with the pin assigned to each advisee. Be sure to give each student their pin and not one assigned to another advisee. Students cannot register without the pin assigned to them. For this reason, they will be contacting you prior to registration opening in order to receive it. This is your opportunity to discuss their course selection since there is no longer a “pre registration” with advisor approval needed to “officially register”.

How do I grant Instructor approval for a student interested in taking my course requiring instructor approval?

Go into your Registration Overrides and select a term and the student you would like to give instructor approval to. In the Override column dropdown, select “Instructor Approval” and the course in the course dropdown and “Submit”. You will be asked to confirm the approval. Once you have confirmed the approval, it will be listed under “Current Student Overrides” as well as the student will be able to see that instructor approval has been given for the course under their “Registration Status”.

I have been approached by a student who would like to do an independent study with me. How is this handled?

There is a link on the student’s “Register, Add or Drop” page which opens this registration form for the student to complete. When the form has been completed and submitted, it is emailed to the instructor and advisor specified as well as the Registrar’s Office. Once the Registrar’s Office has received approval from the instructor, the student will be enrolled in the class by the Registrar’s Office.

There are students on a wait list for my class. How do they get into the class?

When a student enrolled in the class drops the class, the first student on the wait list will receive an email notifying them that there is now an opening. If they would like to enroll in the class, they add it to their schedule by following the instructions in the email. If they take no action within the time period allowed (currently 24 hours), the opening will be offered to the next person on the wait list and this will continue until the opening has been filled. If a person missed their opportunity to add themselves to the class and still wants an opportunity to take the class, the student needs to go back into their registration and add themselves to the wait list again. The student will be placed at the bottom of the list.

My advisee says they have holds on their account which prevent them from registering.

You can view holds for any advisee by using “Your Advising Information” and selecting “View Holds”. If you have not been working with a student in Self Service yet, you will be asked to enter the advisee’s id or last and first name. Once you click “Submit”, a dropdown of all students matching the information you entered will be displayed. Select your student and “Submit” and any holds that exist for the student will be displayed.

You can also go into Advisee Listing to see all your advisees and click “View” for the student desired to see their holds. This method allows you to check more than one student without having to select another ID.

The student does need to take care of any holds on their account before they are allowed to register.

My Course Information

How do I see the rosters for my courses?

In TreeHouse, use the link for “Summary Class List”. This will show you enrollment counts for the class as well as the wait list and any classes cross listed with your classes. To see the wait list, you just click on the words and a list of those currently on the wait list is displayed. You have the ability to email the entire class or individuals in the class or on the waitlist.

I need to enter final grades for my classes.

In TreeHouse, within the Faculty tab, select the “Faculty Self Service” link. Select the “Your Course Information” link, and then the “Final Grades” link. You will be able to enter grades for all students registered for the course.

I have a student who is not performing academically.

In TreeHouse, select “Faculty Self Service”, “Your Course Information” and then select “Faculty Feedback”. Select the class you’d like to offer feedback for and enter the information desired for the student.

I’d like to check enrollment counts and detail for all my courses for a semester.

In TreeHouse, select “Faculty Self Service”, “Your Course Information” and then select “Faculty Detail Schedule”. All classes for the selected term will be displayed.
